I went into July’s Camp NaNoWriMo with a plan: re-write New Devil, my third book to publish. Today, I am going to share what the goal was and how well I did. What Did I Work On? The goal was to do the second draft of the second version of the book. You might recall,Read more

Even though we are well into July’s Camp NaNoWriMo, I am spreading my attention between three projects. First, I am helping people discover Modern Persuasion. It takes time to do promotion and marketing. Second, I am editing Phi Alpha Pi (book 2). Third, I am writing book 3’s 3rd draft. My goal has been toRead more

It’s time to reveal the questions people submitted to help me with my press release and media material for Modern Persuasion. You may recall, I offered readers the chance to ask me questions they wanted answered. It was tough to get some because only a few people have read the book. People wanted to readRead more

We are just a few days away from April and that means it’s time for Camp NaNoWriMo. For those who don’t know what this is, it’s a less intense program connected to National Novel Writing Month. Instead of a firm 50,000 word goal, in April and July writers set their own goals. This is theRead more

I haven’t been writing any novels for the past month. As I have explained before, I write during NaNoWriMo months: April, July, and November.

It was a crazy year. I like to focus on the good things here.. or at least the things I can learn from. I like to think about what I actually achieved during a calendar year. I am really good with planning and visioning what is going to happen, but I never really stop andRead more

After this year I have officially participated in NaNoWriMo 13 times. I have won 12 times. I have been a municipal liaison 12 times. I have yet to publish anything from the November program, but come March one of my Camp NaNoWriMo novels will be published. I would not be a writer or author ifRead more

For the past 13 years of writing during National Novel Writing Month, I have spent 12 of those years as a Municipal Liaison. What is an ML? We are community organizers, volunteers, and cheerleaders. It is our job to make sure local writers have the support they need and want to get through the month.Read more

NaNoWriMo is over! I am done! Well, as done as I can be. What happened in the end? Quite a lot happened and all in about 2 days. As I have mentioned before, I didn’t really write a novel this year. I wrote 2 things. First, the background necessary to help me co-write a novelRead more
